Divorce Without Court: A Guide to Mediation and Collaborative Divorce by Katherine E. Stoner

4.0

Nolo is a long-time publisher of DIY manuals for people with legal issues. How to Do Your Own Divorce in California was an instant classic back in 1971, since I guess a lot of people woke up with some bad hangovers from the Summer of Love, and Divorce Without Court is an update for the 21st century.

The writing isn't as engaging as I Just Want This Done, but it makes a strong case for not going to trial, and provides some useful advice and checklists about how to pick a mediator and what to expect at various stages in the mediation process.
